TurbulenceFD's simulation pipeline implements a voxel-based solver based on the incompressible Navier Stokes equations. That means it uses a voxel grid to describe the volumetric clouds of smoke and fire and solves the equations that describe the motion of fluid on that grid. For each voxel TurbulenceFD calculates the velocity of the fluid as well as several channels to describe properties like temperature, smoke density, amount of fuel, etc. This simulation process produces a voxel grid for each frame, which is cached on disk for use by the Volumetric Renderer.

3D-Coat V4 Beta (Win/MacOSX) | 594MBThe main intention of this release is to summarize all what was done for last year and to release AppLinks. 3D-Coat is the one application that has all the tools you need to take your 3D idea from a block of digital clay all the way to a production ready, fully textured organic or hard surface model.

In this video we’ll take a look at two different topics introducing this new series related to particles. First excercise will be really simple.. We’ll use PFlow to simulate a complex abstract structure created with tiny boxes, in this way using a boxed emitter and a procedural map, we’ll simulate a volume made of little geometric voxel units as you can see in the tutorial sample image.

Art Tutorials was created with the goal of bringing industry-proven, professional digital art techniques to the masses. Many of our art tutorials are narrated by the very people who developed, or pivotal in the development of, the various workflows and digital art techniques that have become industry standards.

In the fast changing world of digital photography, no other partnership has been as successful at keeping up with current trends and developments as DK and Tom Ang. In his new book, Digital Photography Essentials, DK's richly illustrative design and Tom's clear writing and direction blend together to produce a strong combination of practical instruction with visual inspiration.

Calvin Hollywood is back with a brand new class and this one is called: The power of Digital Light. This is a 100% Photoshop class and its all about manipulating light, dodging and burning and much more. Every tutorial contains a cool technique that you’ll be able to use on your very own images.
